Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thin
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat Oil and Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and maintain their vibrant colors.
  5. Add Sauces: Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Toss Noodles: Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and toss everything together to combine all ingredients.
  7. Thicken Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water and cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens and clings to the noodles and ingredients.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish before serving to add freshness and a pop of color.

Notes

  • To keep vegetables crisp, avoid overcooking; stir-fry quickly over high heat.
  • Substitute chicken breast with tofu or shrimp for a different variation.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount to control saltiness according to taste preference.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and oyster sauce substitutes.
  • Sear chicken in batches if your skillet is small to ensure even cooking.
